The Earth is alive, in her water ways, the soil, everywhere we see this.  Living the holistic life is about not just the effect an action has upon us, but how that action affecs all the other life forms on this planet.  Each moment, each action needs to be looked at for its effect down the line.  Life in these times can be challenging and sometimes we forget to think before acting.  But the power is in the moment.  If each of us, each moment accepts personal responsibility for every action,  then all would benefit.  If we looked at our garbage and thought, "Would I like to have to bury this in my backyard?" or "How would I feel about living near the plant that burns garbage?" perhaps we would throw away less.  If we think about what gets poured down the sink and thought, "How would I feel about my children swimming in this?" we might avoid chemical cleaners and drain openers and look for natural alternatives.   If we recognize that all forms of life deserve equal respect, then we would do our best to eat low on the food chain, focusing upon eating plants that bare fruit and continue life after harvest.  We would think about every product we buy or consume, not acting blindly.

Living consciously is amazing, but takes more effort than the alternative.  If you are reading this blog, you have at least some interest in living consciously and recognize the above to be true.  So all should be commended for their efforts.  And the rule of thumb should be, "Keep trying."  Accept any falls along the way, on the path to living more consciously and holistically.  But never stop trying.  It can at times seem overwhelming, always trying to do the right thing, the kindest action for the planet as a whole.  But the rewards are well worth it, both personally and globally.
